I coveted this skirt from Anthropologie I tried on back in July here. But it was $89.95. In. The. Sale. Room.
Yep. You read that right. I kissed that puppy goodbye.
But I checked on it a month later. I tracked one down in a store out on the west coast. Still $89.95.
So a had pretty much given up on it, since they had sold out so many stores. But part of me still really wanted it. So I stalked ebay for it, and found a few, but still at a very high price. A few weeks ago, one popped up in my size for $24.99. I saved it and showed it to Jay and told him there were no bidders, so maybe it would close and the seller would re-list a little lower. (I know, I am crazy. Anything to save a buck!)
I got up the next morning a checked it and noticed it had sold. I figured (again) it was not meant to be.
Then I get a notification on my email that a package has been shipped. I knew I didn't order anything, so I clicked on it. IT WAS THE SKIRT! My sweet, wonderful man had stayed up late bidding on it, and won.
He was in D.C. in meetings all day, so I had to wait for him to call me to thank him (profusely).
So here is my first time wearing it. I am so in love. :)
